Railway Makers.

Mr.. Arthur Brown, superintendent
of bridges and buildings of the Southern
Pacific Company; Mr.. J. H. Strowl-
ridge, superintendent Of construction,
and Mr.. w. Hood, the chief engineer
of the company, returned yesterday
from Santa Ana, accompanied by Mr..
Sisson, of Sisson, Crooker & Co. They
visited the Wolfskill locality of the
new depot San Bernardino, Brookside
and the Santa Ana junction. Without
stating when and where railways
would next be made by the Southern
Pacific Company in the numerous pro-
posed lines, Mr.. Brown stated. that
South California, with all its surprising
and opulent development, would soon
have all the railways that were needed.
He is much gratified at the remark
able progress now being made in the
building up of Los Angeles and the
numerous towns around the metropo-
lis. Mr.. Brown knows this country
intimately, and can truly appreciate
the wonderful growth, but is not COM
municative as to the time and plan OF
operations in making the new depot.
The party left on special car yester-
day for San Francisco.

HOW JANITORS GET RICH.
A Tenants Experience With the
Humble Servant.

LAS rule, the janitor of a large
apartment-house is a tyrant," said d
wealthy gentleman who has lived in
flats for a great many years to a Mai
and Express reporter. Your typical
janitor is Uriah Heep sort OF man,
and never does anything in cour-
ageous manner. If he did SO the ten
ants could make out bill of COM
plants and have him discharged.
The janitor often receives commits
sion from the coal-dealer, the grocer,
the butcher and the baker for bring
ing them the trade of his tenants.
Let tenant refuse to patronize
the places suggested by the janitor and
see how disagreeable he can make
things for the unfortunate tenant. He
can delay sending up supplies and yet
not do anything that would warrant
his discharge. Just by a passive, in
different action, he can make house
keeping intolerable in a flat, unless
tips are literally given. l never paid
ianitor less than IS a month as tip.
1t cannot be helped it is fault that
we have brought on ourselves by
paying people for doing what they are
regularly hired to do. Receiving tips
from tenants and commissions from
the tradespeople in the neighborhood,
together with their regular salary,
they cannot remain poor. Look how
Janitor Cleary had saved up thou
sands. He was not in an apartment
house either. Many of the we'll
dressed and swell-looking men seen
on the streets are janitors. Some Of
them grow so wealthy they have assist
ants. Many of them go to watering
places during the summer. They receive

AMERICAN RAILROAD SPEED.
Fewer Accidents but Less Speed
Than English Railroads.

There is an impression on this side
of the Atlantic that railway accidents
in America are mainly due to the
craze for swift travel, which character
ICES our cousins in the New World. In
reality, the American trains travel, as
a rule, much more slowly than ours,
and with less average of casualties
than is yearly put at the doors of the
English railway companies. For in
stance, the express trains between
New York and Albany average only
twenty-nine and two-eighths miles per
hour, though the track is almost level,
while the "Flying Scotchman" aver
ages fifty miles over considerable
part of the distance between London
and Edinburgh. Between New York
and Boston the speed is rarely over
1924 miles an hour, though the course
is much easier than that between Lon
don and Manchester, which is some
times traversed at the rate of AZ 3-5
miles an hour. This speed is, indeed,
only attained by one American line
what may be called the Limited
Mall" between New York and Chi
cago, which charges a heavy extra
fare for the accommodation afforded.
Taking them all round, the best Eng
lish trains exceed those of America
fully 25 per cent in speed.-[London

On the War Path.

r. A. Staples dropped into Chi
nese restaurant on Los Angeles street
yesterday afternoon. He observed a
chair in the corner of the room with
rather an inviting appearance, and
without any further ceremony he fell
into it and went asleep. When he
woke up some time afterwards he
went out into the back yard, and upon
returning he found that the door did
not swing freely enough ON its hinges
to suit his fancy. He proceeded to
kick it down, but before he had time
to consumate his purpose the mon
golians in the place gave him sound
humping. His face was pretty badly
battered up when Officer Collins ar
rived in response to number of police
whistles, and arrested Staples. He
was locked up on a charge of disor-
derly conduct, but the Cinnamon were
allowed to 90.

as salaries from 500 to 5000 per
month. AS they have no rent to pay,
and their food costs comparatively
nothing, being furnished by the
grocer, they are enabled to save the
major portion of their salaries. There
are some janitors who receive much
larger salaries than the figures given,
but they, as rule, have charge Of the
large downtown office-buildings,
such as the Mills. the
Washington, the Equitable and
the Mutual Life buildings. Then,
too, there are some janitors who are
not in collusion with the various deal
ers. One severe winter l had great
difficulty about getting coal. I never
could get enough sent up at time.
When I solved the difficulty found
that l was buying coal from firm
